Judge Dred (Fred)Paul,
There's a cult type of following for Billy Sunday cards. He's definitely not in the same category as Dummy Hoy because Hoy was quite a ball player. He wasn't near Tommy McCarthy territory. Billy Sunday's real fame came after his playing days. Sunday had a .248 career batting average. He did steal 84 bases one season.
Actually, the price of that Sunday was probably on par with today's market.
Another player with a cult type of following is Williamson (Chicago) holder of the single season HR mark until Ruth broke it. The funny part is that if you understand baseball history you know that most of his homeruns were cheap homeruns in the year he set the record. Also, the following year the same hit was made a double. Williamson cards go for a small premium like Sunday cards.
